Name's Jason Thibeault. I'm an IT guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS, science of all stripes (especially space-related stuff), and debating on-line and off. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.

Yeah, everyone thinking this is parody is likely engaging in wishful thinking. Sorry that that’s the case, folks. Something this hamfisted is almost certainly real. Mind you, it might have been spliced together by the EIT folks to show the most egregious bits of it.

So very much not a parody, unfortunately. If anything that’s some of the tamer crap I’ve seen.

I recall one from my delightful Sunday school, similar setup good xtians trying to “save” their evil friends, everyone dies. The last half was everyone standing around waiting to be judged, the xtians all gloating and the non-believers crying and begging for another chance. It ended with the sinners all screaming and jammed in tiny red-lit cages, pretty fucking terrifying for an 8-yr old.

Those were all on the same stage, if they were spliced, it wasn’t by the EIT guys.

And can I say: “No, Joe!, Don’t die man. Don’t die! I didn’t get to tell you about Jesus.” As if. I’m sorry, but that has got to be the worst reaction to having your friends gunned down in front of you. (and it made me snicker) The over-the top acting just makes those sketches that much better – or worse.

Finally, what sort of twisted mind considered those sketches a good idea?
